Scared so much

I had a chest infection about 5 weeks ago and it took ages to clear. Went to a and E had a chest x-ray and it was normal and so were blood tests. Been back to go as still coughing up white mucus. There was some small black bits and she has done a referral for me to chest team. She told me she is referring me because of my health anxiety and that when I asked her if she was worried she said no and that she would tell me if she was. She also wrote on notes that it's likely to be non sinister. I am still scared to death because I saw the black bits. Can anyone tell me what they think? Also are x-rays good at picking things up?

Thanks in advance.

  • Chest x ray clear

    Bloods normal 

    Nurse not worried and nothing sinister.

    Sounds like you are suffering from anxiety. After your tests there is nothing found to be wrong. I used to think if I invested in worry maybe the outcome would be good but worry doesn't change tomorrow and just ruins today.

    It sounds as if you have nothing to worry about.

    Maybe some meditation might help? Deep breath
